Verdict
The handicapper may have got to My Oh Mount Brown but Weather Babe is better than she showed at Wincanton on her latest start and Kodicil is back in the right grade and has been eased a couple of pounds since his fifth at Market Rasen. SKY WATCH contests his first handicap having run well against some decent novice hurdlers this season. He may not have got home over a longer trip at Wincanton last time and is taken to open his account today. Rio Milan was tried over fences last time but didn't enjoy himself. Another making his handicap debut, he would have each-way claims but Switched Off may need his sights lowering.
